The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 698: Evening Makeup Discussion

Zhao Changhe can understand that some people are not involved in the case but are related to them as disciples, former officials or close relatives. They are not considered "accomplices" but can also be called "fellow party members". Generally speaking, they must be removed from their posts and investigated even if they are not dead. Some people may even have been involved in the case, but the mastermind was eliminated before they could express themselves on the spot. Should these people be put to trial?

According to Tang Wanzhuang's intention, the former will definitely not be dealt with, and even the latter wants to be let go.

Tang Wanzhuang said: "It's better to have done it right. I have released Dingjiang, and it has been quite effective recently. I believe that if they can be lenient, they will really not dare to have any ideas in the future. Instead, they will worry because they have something to do." If someone tells you something, you will be more conscientious and afraid to make mistakes."

 Zhao Changhe said "hmm", that's how human nature is.

"However, this kind of incident is different in nature from Dingjiang being ordered to attack me... Just as it is up to me whether to forgive Dingjiang, if it is just rebellion, His Majesty himself can say that he will only punish the culprit and be lenient to the rest. People's hearts. But when it comes to attracting barbarians to Beijing, this is a matter of principle. If Your Majesty does not pursue this matter to the end, it seems that he does not care about anything else just to secure his position... And I can't be such a good person. If you do, you will become me. If I use this kind of thing to gain fame and cultivate party members, I have become a traitor."

Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Then I should be a traitor?"

"Because you can cultivate party members. The Cui family is your party member. Who dares to comment?" Tang Wanzhuang bit her lower lip and whispered: "Also... Tang Wanzhuang is also your party member. Do you want to rebel? Wanzhuang. Zhuang is willing to be a **** and help you kill that guy."

　　　…”

I think you really want to kill them. The truth is always said in a joke...

Tang Wanzhuang snorted twice to cover up her emotions: "What's wrong with you being a treacherous minister anyway? Aren't you a treacherous minister? Staying on the dragon bed at night and insulting the Queen Mother, if the history is recorded..."

 “Some people will say that men should be like this, I’m sure.”

Tang Wanzhuang: "?"

Zhao Changhe hugged him: "I am a treacherous minister who insulted the head of the Demon Suppression Division..."

Tang Wanzhuang struggled: "Let's talk about business!"

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." After saying this, he did not let go of the hug. Zhao Changhe used his arms slightly to pull the first adult out of the chair, and sat down on the magpie's nest. He held the first adult on his lap and hugged him.

So soft and fragrant.

Being held like this in her office, Tang Wanzhuang felt more ashamed than in other places. She always felt that there was someone outside...

Zhao Changhe climbed up to Huqiu, Gusu, and asked: "What about the business? I'm waiting for you to say..."

Tang Wanzhuang was so confused that she couldn't think of anything serious. She continued what she had just said in a daze: "In fact, there are many officials who are not involved in this matter who really believe that they should not be too involved. But no one dares to stand up and say this openly, and only you can do it whether you look at the government or the public."

After finishing the whole sentence, I realized how shameful it was to talk about business in such a serious manner. The poor man's face turned red to his ears, and he wanted to struggle, but this guy was diverting his attention again: "What do you need me to do? Go up to the court and tell me ?”

Tang Wanzhuang subconsciously said: "If you are too lazy to go to court, just hand over a note. This kind of thing only needs someone to take the lead, and others will naturally follow. And if you come to me today, you can also create the impression that this is why you are here. Gagged my mouth..."

This is an official whose mind is full of business matters. He can turn his mind to business matters with just a flick of his brain. It is particularly interesting to match the scene where the man's hands are stuffed into her clothes to play with her.

Zhao Changhe couldn't help but laugh: "Why did you block your mouth? With noodles?"

Tang Wanzhuang was so angry that she turned red on her toes.

 Others would say that it would be better to block it with noodles, but I don’t know how many people in the government and the public are thinking about what is blocking the mouth of the leader in the first hall at this moment. The truth is almost the same... How can you talk about things while playing with people?

 What should I do if I feel like I have been played?

Seeing how angry she was, Zhao Changhe moved his index finger and bent down to her ear: "Then stop it for a while."

Tang Wanzhuang said anxiously: "No, I just ate noodles... uh uh uh..."

 Soon his head was pulled open and he was kissed for a long time.

Tang Wanzhuang was being kissed with her eyes open. She stopped stepping on him and pushed his chest nervously with both hands. She was always worried that this beast was going to mess around here. It couldn't be heard here. It’s over…

Zhao Changhe was so cute when he saw that look, but he didn't dare to let the first lady lose his temper, so he quickly let go of her, but he kissed her face and forehead several times with great affection: "It's so cute. My first lord..."

She knew clearly that he really liked her and she fell in love with him, but Tang Wanzhuang was still angry that he was too teasing and said bitterly: "I have changed my mind and if you come to power, you will definitely be a stupid king that is rare in ancient and modern times! "

Zhao Changhe just hugged her with a smile, put his chin on her head, and said nothing.

Tang Wanzhuang scolded him for a while, feeling his true affection, and felt sweet in her heart. She hummed and huddled in his arms, holding down his mischievous hand to prevent him from moving.

Zhao Changhe did not move, and the two hugged each other quietly, enjoying a moment of tenderness in this cold winter afternoon.

After a while, Tang Wanzhuang whispered: "In addition to asking me if there is anything I can help you with, you also came to me for something, right?"

"Well... I'm just too lazy to say it. I feel calm and happy when I hold you. I'll talk about it later." "Let's talk... In these troubled times, how can there be such a peaceful and peaceful time to rest... When the world is settled, I will spend the last month with you. Next, play the piano and paint."

Zhao Changhe hugged Xiangxiang's soft body, still feeling a little unwilling to talk and unable to get excited. Tang Wanzhuang finally felt a little angry: "You...let me guess, you are going out, right?"

"Um."

"Since you proposed that Suzaku go to Jinzhong to cause trouble, and you trust that woman's ability so much, then you may not go there yourself. The current situation forces Qin and Jin to be connected as one. To deal with the three Jins, we must consider the relationship between them. Long, you are most likely going to solve the problem with the Li family. But it is impossible for you to solve it alone. It is very likely that you will contact Bashu Li Shentong to see his attitude. Before this, Li Shentong had attacked Hanzhong , and during the Dragon Slaying War, he was extremely angry at the actions of the Li family, and he is a target that can be won over... You must go to Bashu during this trip."

Zhao Changhe listened quietly, sighing in his heart, and finally said: "Yes."

"And Li Shentong and Yuxu have been friends for many years, and Yuxu was actually a participant in the dragon-slaying battle. The two cannot be treated completely separately. In addition, the Thief Saint has taken the Immortal God Axe, so you should go to the Thief Saint, so you can You must go to Kunlun. Between the two, you might go to Kunlun first. After all, it is enough for Li Shentong to pay an envoy to Kunlun. You must be in Kunlun. So you came to me because you think Kunlun is dangerous. Ask me what I think. ?”

"yes."

Tang Wanzhuang finally smiled: "Aren't there nails from their Four Elephants Sect over there, Liu Tu Deer and so on...Why didn't she, Master Suzaku, give her advice and asked me instead?"

Zhao Changhe coughed dryly: "Liu Tulu was exposed when we went there before. He withdrew long ago, and he can still stay here. That means the Four Symbols Sect is provoking Yuxu."

"They have removed the nails, but I, the Demon Suppressor, don't have any nails there. What's the point of asking me?"

 “Aren’t you smart? You can always do some analysis...”

“If you really want to ask my opinion, I’ll tell you not to go, is that okay?”

　　　…”

"Since that's not possible, my suggestion is that you find someone else and take him with you."

"who?"

"Sisi." Tang Wanzhuang said leisurely: "First of all, the communication with Li Shentong cannot only be based on righteousness. No matter what the reason for his rebellion was at the beginning, now he is also the leader of a party. He needs to be responsible for many people in the power and speak righteousness. At the same time, we need to let them know that we are not here to beg him, but also a threat to him. Where is the threat? Miaojiang is right behind them."

Zhao Changhe hissed, he had never thought about this.

"Don't think of this as us colluding with a foreign race. The difference is that this foreign race is surrendered to you and used by you." Tang Wanzhuang turned her head and looked at him with a burning gaze: "Can you guarantee this?"

 Zhao Changhe hesitated for a moment: "It should be okay."

Tang Wanzhuang nodded: "This is your power, it is different from everyone else in the world."

After a pause, he continued: "Let's talk about thieves...Ji Chengkong and the others are not good at it. They barely made it to the end of Qianlong at an old age. Now they are afraid that they will be off the list. The thieves' sect can really inherit its legacy." On the contrary, only Sisi is interested. It may not be that the Thief Saint was so generous at first and did not investigate Sisi. In fact, it was for this reason. In other words, Sisi could really influence the Thief Saint's decision-making. In addition, the Thief Saint stayed in Kunlun. What was his relationship with Yuxu for so long? Did you know about it before?"

 …No, our relationship has never been to the point of getting to the bottom of things.”

"Then this time, if you take Sisi north, the relationship will be over."

Zhao Changhe said sincerely: "It is true that the Four Symbols Sect was suppressed by you for no reason."

"There is no need to praise Wanzhuang..." Tang Wanzhuang whispered: "In today's chaotic situation, we can't do much. All we can do is to create a stable rear area for you. You are on an expedition, and I am worried day and night, but I hope you come back safely, and don’t always take your own life seriously... Even if you can’t do anything, it doesn’t matter. No matter how bad the situation is, remember that we will carry it together.”

Zhao Changhe said: "Don't worry, God is blind. A bad person like me cannot die."

I don’t know if this is a promise or a joke.

Tang Wanzhuang was too lazy to distinguish, and whispered: "Thousands of sails are not the same, the slanting light is long and the water is long... I read the poems in the past years, and I thought I knew it. It has only been ten months since I went south to Qinghe, but I have been so worried that I raised my head day and night. , only then can you know what is shallow on paper.”

Zhao Changhe lost his thoughts of teasing and whispered: "Don't worry."

"You have to tidy up the mountains and rivers for the world, and we have a heavy burden on you. We can't stop you. You have traveled thousands of miles, and I don't know when we will meet again... You must remember that there is someone waiting for you in the capital."
